    Scholarship Program

    Step by Step Scholarship Program

    International Samaritan offers a scholarship program that assists students from nursery age through college or trade school. Besides covering school enrollment fees, our scholarships are designed to assist in covering other school-related basic needs that, without them, often leads to students dropping out of school: School supplies, uniforms, transportation to and from school, and food. Our goal through our scholarship program is to give students the resources so that they don’t have to drop out of school to work in garbage dumps.

    As of January 2020, International Samaritan has 715 scholarship recipients in five countries, including Ethiopia, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica, and Nicaragua.
